Product Description
ND44S-ATH-625 Schlage ND Series Cylindrical Lever Lock — Hospital Privacy Lock, Athens Lever, Bright Chrome
On a patient room or a staff restroom, nobody should be hunting for a tool when the person inside needs help. The ND44 has a push button in the inside lever and an emergency turn in the outside lever. Push the button and the outside lever goes dead. Rotate the turn from the hall and the button lets go, no key and no screwdriver needed.
This one is the Athens lever on the Rhodes rose, in Bright Chrome. The latch is a spring latch. Pick your backset in the dropdown: 2-3/4" is standard, 2-3/8" is the other choice. Measure from the door edge to the center of the bore before you order.

Pro-Installer FAQ
Q: What is the difference between this and the ND40?
A: The way in from the hall. The ND44 has a turn in the outside lever you work by hand. The ND40 has a slot that takes an emergency key or a small flat screwdriver.
Q: Can someone get locked out if the door shuts with the button pushed?
A: No. Closing the door releases the button and unlocks the outside lever. Turning the inside lever does the same.
Q: Is this a Grade 1 lock?
A: Yes. The ND Series is ANSI/BHMA Certified A156.2 Grade 1, Series 4000. If the job does not call for Grade 1, Schlage's ALX Series is the Grade 2 cylindrical line.
